Summary
Canon Divergence where Ricky never shot Izzy, and Stede stayed on the Revenge to Captain with Izzy as (one) of his First Mates. Sort of a character study, where I wanted to put Izzy in Situations and it rather grew a life of its own. This fic is all about hurt/comfort tropes and bonding with Izzy, the crew, Stede, and Ed.
Excerpt:
"It is an astounding thing, to be part of a crew that isn’t intent on stabbing anyone else in the back – at least not one of their own. Absolutely mind-blowing….And it’s not even a closed circle... And the requirements to join them?
Acceptance.
Protectiveness.
Being part of their team.A fuckin' team. That’s the last bit. You must be willing to become one of them, in some way. Izzy still isn’t sure he deserves such a thing, not when his comfortable tendencies still sprout from years worth of vicious living and his sharp tongue lashes out more often than not. But he wants to have earned it. He can even feel where his heart sweats from quickly growing in this thrice-damned nurturing environment.”

Summary
Summary: Canon divergence & extension of S2E6 where Low is intrigued by Izzy, so he torments him alongside Edward and Stede. Main pairings are Izzy/Edward with Steddyhands endgame, and a side helping of Ned/Izzy.
The noncon tag: Not overly explicit, further details in endnote“You’ve been hunting us for a while then....All to defend your honor?” Izzy let his tone radiate how he felt about such obsessiveness.
Low flashed him a grin. “Yes. I’m not one to do things by halves… And from what I heard and saw, neither is Blackbeard’s crew. But I can tell you are not Blackbeard’s any longer. I didn’t even have to fight for this, did I? Your capture, so easy, so boring…” He let his judgment fall on each of them, Izzy for the longest before focusing back on Edward. “I expected better.”
“You’re right,” Bonnet snapped, “We’re not just Blackbeard’s any more. We’re more than that. Ever heard of the Gentleman Pirate?”
He sounded so ridiculously proud of himself and Izzy had to resist rolling his eyes. Not helpful, but there was not much that could stop this mess.

Summary
Bang-won sends soldiers after Seon-ho and his Jurchen army before Seon-ho has the chance to bring them during the Second Strife.
I wrote this because I saw pictures of bloody snow and ended up thinking about My Country and getting emotional (as usual).

Once Upon a Contract by I_Got_Lost

Summary
In the Shire there were two truths. The Tooks were odd and the Baggins were respectable. The Baggins family dealt in contracts and favours, and while the Shire knew that the Tooks were odd, it was the Baggins family that had other blood running through their veins.
Bilbo Baggins did not go running out his door for want of an adventure, he went running out his door because of a terribly worded contract and a laughable quest that somehow held the spark of other.
In this story, it is not the Tooks that held fae blood in their family tree, it is the Baggins, and theirs is so much closer to the surface. -

Summary
Bilbo Baggins is a humble grocer, living a simple, quiet life. He likes his solitude and his predictable routine.
The police say the Sons of Durin are a crime family. The government has labeled them a group of environmental terrorists. Thorin Oakenshield will tell you that they are simply desperate for a home.
But when Bilbo is dragged into the midst of the group as their unwilling burglar, his life will take a turn for the terrifying, and everything he has taken for granted will be torn asunder.

Summary
Waking up in a time that has long gone by is as confusing as it is terrifying. The latter especially rings true when Gimli realizes that he is going to meet people he has mourned for decades... and that he might have come here alone. Also, what if - what if he cannot change all the wrongs that happened the last time?

Summary
Bilbo Baggins has been a hobbit for many long years and he should very much like to keep it that way, thank you very much.
An old friend drops by Bag End with the offer of an adventure and despite Bilbo's refusal, the idea of only thirteen dwarves and a wizard facing a dragon may just convince him yet. After all, he has experience with the Great Dragons of the North. Once upon a time, he was one.
